Needs assessment survey results to be presented

Preliminary results of a Northern State University community needs assessment survey project will be presented to the public this week.

The community presentation will be 7 p.m. Wednesday in the NSU Student Center centennial rooms B and D.

NSU students and community volunteers went door to door last month to conduct interviews for the survey. The assessment included questions in categories such as economics, employment and housing; community engagement and service usage; higher education; and entertainment.

The group is still collecting data in an effort to reach its goal of 400 completed surveys, according to information from NSU sociology professor Teresa Stallings.
